Celebrity That Lost A Fortune: Marvin Gaye


Marvin Gaye was an American singer-songwriter and musician. He helped to shape the sound of Motown Records in the 1960s with a string of hits, and he has sold multi-million dollar records which makes it quite unbelievable that he ended up going broke. In 1979, Marvin ended up filing for bankruptcy. According to Rolling Stone magazine, after Marvin went broke he ended up living in a bread van for a few years. How in the world did Marvin Gaye manage to go broke? The iconic crooner filed for bankruptcy in 1976 after a court ruled that the royalties from his upcoming album, Here, My Dear, were to be paid to his ex-wife for alimony.
